Instructions

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, add vegetable oil and 3 popcorn kernels. Place pot on medium-high heat and wait until the 3 kernels pop.

Step 2

Add in the remaining popcorn kernels. Evenly sprinkle the Redpath® Golden Yellow Sugar and salt over the kernels. Place the lid onto the pot.

Step 3

Keep pot covered and shake every few seconds. Be sure to keep the pot moving so the kernels and sugar do not burn.

Step 4

When the popping slows to once every 3 seconds, remove pot from heat. Continue to shake the pot until popping has stopped.

Step 5

Carefully remove lid, and transfer the hot popcorn into a large bowl or parchment-lined baking sheet. Taste the popcorn. If desired, add remaining ¼ teaspoon (2 g) of salt. Shake and toss popcorn to distribute the salt.

Step 6

Let cool slightly. Serve immediately.
